So how does it sound? And how much does the sound differs from the other? Is it like a JB with more bass?

Which version do you have in your Hamer Diablo? The 14k or 21k. And would you say that it has a scooped or open tone?

Re: Custom Shop Scott Ian "Diablo"

i have the 14.5k it looks like a screamin demon and it sounds like one as well but it hits the amp like a JB/custom its like a demon with a tube screamer/boost on !!!!!!!!!!! more power and not as ultra high pitched it has a resonent peak of 5.5(the same as a JB/DD/FULL SHRED/and almost a custom5(5.4k) not 7.0k like the demon i have no clue how the other dialo sounds other than check out any of the last couple of anthrax cd's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
